African Growth and Expansion

Are You Ready For The African Expansion Challenge?

Africa is the final frontier, the continent onto which companies can still expand, and expect to make decent margins. The continent is home to six of the globe’s ten fastest growing economies, and gross domestic product gains will outstrip growth in most developed markets for several years to come.

However, moving into Africa can be a nightmare for the unprepared and ill-informed. Cultural, legal, language and trade differences can turn a good business idea into a failure. Companies looking to tap into Africa’s growth potential also need to take logistical, distribution, import, warehouse and other cross-border challenges into account.
